Jastin suffers quadriceps tear; return timeline around six weeks
Tests point to a more serious issue: Jastin has a quadriceps rupture and the Girona expect him to be out for roughly six weeks.
Bad news for Jastin and Girona. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the club’s tests have confirmed that the winger has a quadriceps tear, with a recovery period that could be around a month and a half.
From discomfort to tear
The problem surfaced during a training session before the match against Sporting de Gijón. At that point, he was left out of the squad for the trip to El Molinón. Early signs suggested it might be something minor, but further scans ultimately backed up the diagnosis of a muscular injury, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Timing is tough
The setback hits just as Jastin was beginning to earn more responsibility. He came into this after making the most of his chance versus Las Palmas, where he started and stood out, including an individual run that helped set up the 5-2.
For Girona, this also complicates their attacking options in a role that has seen changes during the transfer window. With recovery on the way, the coaching staff will have to adjust. If Mundo Deportivo’s estimates are accurate, Jastin could be sidelined for around six weeks, though his exact return date will depend on how he progresses.
